Rationale. Once a client has addressed the localized restrictions in various parts of his body, it's time to get him off the floor and teach him how to move correctly against the forces of nature (gravity and ground reaction forces). The ability to move correctly while in motion will ensure that the client can perform daily activities such as standing, walking and running without pain. This integrated exercise helps realign and retrain the entire body by combining the calf and hip flexor stretch while strengthening the muscles of the upper back and shoulders. Movement Cues. Simultaneously step back with your right leg and lift your right arm over your head (make sure your heel hits the ground and try not to shrug your shoulders as you lift your arm). Stand in this position for a second or two as you tuck your pelvis under to help push your hips forward. Return to the starting position and repeat on the left leg while raising your left arm. Perform a total of 6--10 repetitions on both sides once per day. Progression. Hold a light dumbbell (1--2 pounds) in your hand as you raise the arm. Regression. Do not lift your arm over your head. Tip. Keep the foot of your back leg facing forward as you step back. Precaution. Do not overarch the lower back when raising the arm overhead. The motion should happen by extending the mid upper back.
